Regardless, NSO rules over international law.

  No, it means that NSO takes customer complaints seriously, especially a customer as important as the US. They operate under Israeli legal jurisdiction, and probably have an existing relationship with US firms, public and private, and I don't think the Israelis would hesitate to take whatever action the US wanted, because it benefits them to "play nice" and be cooperative. It kinda sucks for them in this case because chances are this is evidence of in-fighting between US agencies, and NSO tools are in the middle. FWIW "international law" is its own thing and doesn't work like normal law; in truth every nation by default "rules over international law". When was the last time you saw an "international law" trial or saw a nation punished?
